The Psalms are FULL of lyrics speaking of giving thanks to God! Over and over again, you will see the words "give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!" and, "Give thanks to His Lord, praise His holy name!", and "His steadfast love endures forever!" We have so many reasons to praise God, and it is so important that we remember to do so. When we thank Him, not only are we praising Him for His good works, but we are reminding OURSELVES that He cares for us, provides for us, and loves us!
Today we are doing just that since earlier today we got the email from Encompass that we are FULLY FUNDED for our trip to Argentina!! It has been so incredibly exciting to see who God used to support us, and how quickly this came to pass! We had anticipated a deficit in our expenses upon our return (that was when the trip needed to be paid for fully), and God chose instead to provide fully for us in just one month!!
To end this post, I want to leave some verses from one of my favorite Psalms that speaks of thanksgiving to God:
"I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. . . All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you! They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom." - Psalm 145:1-5, 10-12
